With the recent demand in using Folding@Home to combat COVID19, many have noticed the Protein Viewer does not work in Windows with (v7.5.1). This is a temporary fix to get the viewer working using an older version of the FAHViewer from version (v7.4.4)
Bare in mind, the viewer only works for CPU Work Units.
- Download the
FAHViewer.exe
andfreetype6.dll
files from version (7.4.4) here:
a) Find fah-installer_7.4.4_x86.exe
on internet, open .exe
with 7zip to extract the above files. (DO NOT INSTALL OLD VERSION)
OR
b) I have extracted the files and place them in my google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12Ya7Sxsv161BFIrsbqgz9bySwKJKkXIH?usp=sharing
- Find local FAHClient (v7.5.1) installed directory. Mine was
C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient
- Move and replace the FAHViewer.exe and freetype6.dll into the root of that directory. (
FAHViewer.exe
will be asked to be replaced) - (optional) Untick 'Run as Administrator' in the file properties of FAHViewer.exe
- Wait for a CPU WU to come in and watch in awe!
regchanuk have you tried getting the screensaver from 7.4.4 and using it in 7.5.1? I will try some time in the next few days and post a follow up comment.
